Chapter 50 (1/2)
Chapter 50 – Follow Me If You Can
“Ah, I guess it’s not the editor. I must be mistaken. I’m sorry. I apologize. So should I just leave now?”
Tewon slowly turned around.
It was Jaegun
He was smiling with his phone on his ear.
“Writer Ha…? How… did you get here?”
Tewon was completely surprised at his sudden appearance.
Jaegun put his phone away and answered.
“You said you bought a house here. I remembered the apartment building. I thought you weren’t about to answer, so the timing was great right? If I was unlucky, I may have left without meeting you.”
“Ah, writer don’t take it the wrong way. I was going to answer. I was just thinking. My head is really…”
Jaegun waved it off.
“What are you saying? I’m fine. But before that, you should check your email.”
“Mail?”
“Yes, your personal email.”
Jaegun’s finger was pointing towards Tewon’s phone.
Tewon with a dazed look pulled up his email. In his email, three books of a novel called Dragon Rider was there.
“Writer Ha, this…?”
Tewon had to ask even if he knew.
It was hard to continue with his overflowing emotions.
Recently, he had looked hard for a writer, struggling to even find one.
He pleaded with them to just trust him once so many times.
But no one answered.
A good selling writer, a bad selling writer, everyone rejected him with different reasons. No one trusted Tewon enough to follow him yet.
But…
Now a writer came here without him even asking.
A writer who wasn’t the bottom anymore, a writer who had lifted himself up to the highest ceiling. A person like that came to his house with his own works.
“It’s my new novel, read it and give me feedback.”
“Writer Ha…”
Tewon sighed.
Tewon knew Jaegun’s personality, so he had shut his mouth about resigning. He didn’t want Jaegun to lose money because of him.
“I came here, so I can’t leave just now.”
Jaegun said as he tied his shoes.
“I’ll go back with your feedback. If you want to sleep early, you’re going to have to be compliant.”
Tewon’s two eyes went back to his phone.
He answered quietly.
“If you say that, I must read it quickly. And you did write it really quickly.”
“I think I’m great this year.”
Jaegun pointed towards the opposite side of the street.
“Editor, I didn’t eat yet. If you didn’t either, then let’s go over there. There’s HOF on the 1st floor.”
“Yes, writer. Let’s go.”
He put his phone away. He needed a place to concentrate anyway.
“What do you want? You pick.”
“How’s chicken. It’s good.”
“I’m fine.”
“Here, one fried. Hm..”
Tewon looked around and asked.
“How about a drink?”
“Yes.”
“Give us two drinks.”
The two beers came out before the chicken.
Jaegun sipped his drink while Tewon started reading – his two eyes showing off his long-stayed editing skills.
“Here it is.”
The chicken came as Jaegun drank about a half of his beer.
Tewon didn’t lift his head once. His beer was losing steam quickly.
“Give us another drink.”
Jaegun got another drink.
And then Tewon started on Book 2.
30 minutes, then an hour.
There were no words between the two.
About 2 hours.
“I finished.”
Tewon smiled as he looked up.
Jaegun immediately asked, half-expectant half-worried.
“How is it? Is it good?”
“First, It’s entertaining.”
Tewon’s first sentence made Jaegun nervous. He knew this was the only compliment.
Tewon never made any useless compliments.
